ful Hog-Oiler, of `which the V,following isa Y from dischar ing exceptas used,

specification.V

This invention relatesto' hog Oilers, one of its objects beingto providea rubbing element which, whenpr'essed against by ahog, will operatemeansfor discharging a limited amount of oil which will be1 guided down`wardly onto the hog. v

` A further -object. is ,toprovide meansfor collecting surplus'oildischarged fromthe machine, said surplus 'being usedfor oiling a rollerdesigned to'app'ly oil to a hog. y

A still further object is to provide means whereby a constant supply ofoil may be provided, the same being prevented, however,

Y AWith the oregoing and otherzo'bje'cts'l view which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the combination andarrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed, ,it being understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made Within thescope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of theinvention.

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention hasbeen shown.

In said drawings Figure 1 is a view partly in front elevation and partlyin transverse section of one side portion of a side oiler embodying thepresent improvements.

Fig. 2 is a section on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a transverse section through the rubbing bar.

Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates asupportingv frame having a base 2 on which is arranged a collecting tank3. Mounted above and extending partly into this tank 1s a roller 4designed as a means for transferring oil from gr the tank to the bellyof a hog passing over the roller.

Supported above the collecting tank 3 1s a distributing tank 5 andopening downwardly into this distributing tank is the outflow tube 6 ofa supply tank 7 Said outflow tube has one or more outlet openings 8through which oil will iiow into the tank until the level of the oil insaid tank rises i Specification of Letters Patent.

above the opening whereupon further 4sup,-4

ply of oil to the tank 5 will be cut oli.

, Pivotally connected to the lower portion of one side of the frame 1 isa rubbing bar 9 the lupper end portionofwhich is provided with spacedarms 10 the free ends of which are connected by aycross'pin 11 or thelike. Thatend of the bar 9 between the armslO is inclined as shown at 12in Fig. 1 so as to direct downwardly and inwardly any oil which maybedischarged onto the bar and between the arms 10. Longitudinal grooves 13are formed in the inner side of thebar 9 and communicate with the spacebetween the .arms 10 so that the oil guided along the inclinedl portion12 will be directed into the grooves 13. The lowerend of thebar 49 isoiiset so as `to overhang one end portion of the tank 3 whereby anysurplus oil leaving the grooves 13 will'gravitate into the tank 3.

The arms 10 are so shaped that when the bar 9is in its 4normal positionwithsaid arms resting against one end of the tank 5,

the rod or pin 11 will overhang the tank 5. This bar or pin 11 extendsacross a dipping spoon 14 which is pivotally mounted in the tank 5 asshown at 15 and has an upwardly extending tongue 16 provided with anopening 17 which communicates with the recess in the spoon 14. The arms10 straddle the tongue 16 and the pin 11 extends across said tongue.Under normal conditions the spoon 14 rests upon the bottom of the tank 5but, when the bar 9 is thrust laterally out of its normal position, thepin 11 will pull on the tongue 16 and will cause the spoon 14 to swingupwardly to the position indicated by dotted lines in Fig. l. This willcause the contents of 4the spoon to pour therefrom through the opening17 and onto a tongue or apron 18 which extends from the upper yportionof the tank 5 and into the space between the arms 10. Consequently theoil thus discharged will flow into the space be tween the arms 10 andonto the inclined face 12 and thence be ooves 13.

From the foregoing it is thought that the operation of the device willbe clearly understood. When a hog passes over the roller 4 oil will beapplied thereto as hereinbefore described. When the hog rubs against thebar 9, said bar will be shifted laterally as shown by dotted lines inFig. 1, thus causing the spoon 14 to swing upwardly and discharge itscontents onto the bar 9 so that the distributed into the oil will thusbe directed against the hog.

Surplus oil will flow into the tank 3 and be As the' levelof: thevsupplied to the roller 4a oil in the distributing tank 5 is lowered, ad-

vditional oil will be supplied from the tank 7.
